[QUOTE="Rune, post: 5774531, member: 67"] First of all, not that this matters, but I'm confused by your math. You said you've been playing for 13 years, since your 7th birthday and that your brother is "15 9 when we started." Is that supposed to be "19, 5 when we started?" (Which would be possible, if the OP was posted after your brother's birthday, but before yours.) With that out of the way, I'll make a few suggestions based on the content of the OP. First, the family that plays together stays together; I recommend that you make every effort to keep that up. Second, roleplaying is something that a player (who wants to) looks for opportunities to do. You can't and shouldn't expect--or try to force--a player to do it. You also shouldn't set up encounters with a sharp divide between types. There's no rule that says you can't roleplay in the middle of combat, nor that you must fight everything that has stats. Finally, you have the 1e DMG, right? If you want to play, why don't you all play through a random dungeon without a DM for a change of pace? [/QUOTE]
